Suzy's Zoo..... I love my little zoo and hope this blog will help me remember all that is too easily forgotten. I'm learning to love the little things, enjoy the whole, and (all the while) love the God who gives all good things.

Is it possible?
Is it possible to remember all of the little details I love during the day? Probably not. I sure hope I remember most of them, though. I never want to forget the way Elyse still fits in my arms when I scoop her up in her towel after bath time. I never want to forget the way her little toes barely peek over the edge of our couch as she sits close during story time. I hope I always remember the way Emily holds her arms up in the air and waves her little hands around, just begging for me to pick her up. I hope I never forget her baby smell when she's too big for me to hold in the middle of the night. I want to remember the sound of every giggle & the sight of every little dance they do. I hope I can commit to memory the way they light up when they see Daddy walk in a room & the way they play together. I hope the phrase, "Mommy, can we cuddle on the couch?" never goes away. (Okay, that one might end up a little weird in a few years, but I'm trying not to think of it that way...) I'd be a happy woman if I could just keep putting one on each hip for a long time. (Again, I know it's a bit creepy to think of that one long-term. You get my drift.) These little-kiddo moments are getting to me lately as I see my girls growing so fast. I love them, and I know I'll love them as they get older, too. I also know these moments disappear far too quickly. The moments of girly gibberish & slobbery kisses I will miss. The dirty diapers, I will not. BUT, until the day when they're gone, I plan to keep recording each of the sweet memories. I never want to forget my little girls.
